question aboout arguments

This is a discussion on question aboout arguments within the C++ Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; when can i use inline argument and default arguments?
um.. also
im using Quincy complier
is there ne good free ...

What do you mean by "inline argument"? Are you thinking of inline functions? You would use a default argument when you want to provide a default value for an argument, it is a little obvious in that sense.

is there ne good free complier i can use?

It depends on what operating system you are running, but g++ from the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is probably available for you. On Windows, you can use the MinGW port of GCC.

I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

Quincy is not a compiler, it is an IDE; latest version Quincy 2005! The background compiler of Quincy is "mingw".

Yes there is a better ones such as CODE BLOCKS, DEV C++, Mingw Developer Studio and so on. All run "mingw" compiler in the background except the first one which can also run several other ones also! If you are a little experienced programmer go for CODE BLOCKS. It is an amazing IDE. Do not forget to use the nightly build to get the latest features of it. For details visit their website "www.codeblocks.org".

The default arguments are used when there is a case that the argument has default value when not specified - as the name suggests.
